Haiti’s chief prosecutor has asked a judge to charge prime minister Ariel Henry over the killing of the president and asked officials to bar him from leaving the country.

The order filed by Port-au-Prince prosecutor Bed-Ford Claude came on the same day that he requested Mr Henry should meet with him and explain why a key suspect in the assassination of president Jovenel Moise called him twice just hours after the killing.
